Edwin Ames Jaggard - A Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota. He died suddenly and unexpectedly of heart failure, at Hamilton, Bermuda, on Feb 13, 1911.
He was born at Altoona, Pennsylvania, June 21, 1859, and was the son of Clement and Annie Jane (Wright) Jaggard. He prepared for college under - instruction and graduated from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1879. Three years later he secured his degree of Bachelor of Laws at the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1906 this University conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. In 1882 he moved to the city of St Paul, where he remained in active legal practice until 1898. He was then elected a Judge of the Ramsey County District Court, and served on this bench for one term. In 1904, and while a Judge of the District Court, he was elected an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Minnesota. He was re-elected in 1910. In 1887 he was chosen to succeed the late Senator Cushman K Davis as lecturer in the St. Paul Medical College on Medical Jurisprudence. When this college was subsequently merged with the Medical Department of the University, he became a member of the faculty of the Law Department of that institution. He remained on the faculty of the University of Minnesota until his death. He was the author of "Jaggard on Torts", which has become a recognized authority on this subject throughout the country. In recent years, he published "Jaggard on Taxation in Minnesota and the Dakotas", and "Jaggard on Taxation in Iowa." He masted the intricacies of this technical subject. He was also the author of Articles "False Imprisonment," and "Historical Anomalies in the Law of Libel and Slander". He was married in 1890 to Anna May Averill, the daughter of General and Mrs John T. Averill, pioneer residents of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Few men have ever so completely entered into the public life of this State. Possessing the keenest sense of humor and that charity toward his fellow men, which invariably brought out the good that was in them, he was a welcome speaker at every public gathering. He was an able and learned jurist, a scholarly author. His whole-souled, charming personality radiated sunshine and optimism. His life was one of public service. He was devoted to his friends. To him the word friendship had a true richness of significance. Life will be infinitely sweeter for the memories which will always be cherished by those who knew him. Truly was he loved by all.
